In the Blade

An incense stick ago, along the Jishui River.

"So if we go ashore from here and walk a little further, we will reach Liuhua Mountain, right?"

Zhao Laoer, who was steering the boat, looked around, as if he was asking the people around him, or as if he was asking and answering himself.

After all, Zhao Laoer had never been far away before, and it was rare for him to leave, and he even brought his family with him, which made him a little flustered.

Especially after thinking about what he had encountered, Zhao Laoer became even more flustered.

"Why are you panicking? That was Taibaixing's intention!"

On another boat next to him, Zhang Laowu, who was also steering the boat, shook his head repeatedly.

"As long as we go to Liuhua Mountain, everything will be fine... No, what does that look mean, did Taibaixing say you can't go back?"

"Ah, this."

Zhao Laoer choked on the spot.

It seems that he really didn't say it, or that Taibaixing actually told them very clearly - go out in the morning and come back in the evening, just as if the whole town went to Liuhua Mountain for a tour. Although they didn't know what Taibaixing's intention was, they still followed his instructions out of trust during this period of time.

But Zhao Laoer still felt a little flustered, as if something he didn't know had happened. Although others seemed to be unaware of it, he still felt that way in his heart...

"I'll be quiet for a while."

Having said that, Zhao Laoer stopped talking and continued to steer the boat.

If Zhao Laoer could see Jishui Town at this moment, he would know that his feeling was actually right. Coming to Liuhua Mountain was actually a way out found by Taibaixing, or Du Chengfeng for the people of Jishui Town.

After all, there would be dangers in Jishui Town anyway, so conversely, the most dangerous place would often be the safest place. According to the principle of darkness under the lamp, as long as the people of Jishui Town ran to Liuhua Mountain, they would definitely survive.

Anyway, the two sides are not too far away. It will be there soon by boat along the Jishui River. Du Chengfeng will be here to hold Liuhua Mountain Lord, so there will be no safety problems.

As for the time...

Du Chengfeng is very confident that this battle will not drag on until the evening.

It's just because some of the people of Jishui who are heading to Liuhua Mountain need to do something else.

"Are all the things ready?"

Zhang Laowu grabbed a handful of fried soybeans and stuffed them into his mouth. He didn't know why he suddenly started to like eating this kind of snack recently.

Maybe it's because life is good.

Zhang Laowu thought so.

The effect of the governance of the Jishui River has not really been reflected yet. After all, whether it is the construction of water conservancy facilities or the irrigation of fields, it takes some time. But after the Jishui River returned to peace, one thing was immediately effective - that is, the Jishui River, as a waterway, can finally play a role.

In the past, everyone knew that the Jishui River was unpredictable and could flood at any time, so few people dared to really use this waterway. However, now that the Jishui River has calmed down, everyone has enjoyed the benefits brought by this waterway.

Especially the people in Jishui Town, compared with other people upstream and downstream, they are the first to know that the Jishui River has calmed down, and they are also the first to taste the sweetness.

Although due to time constraints, Zhang Laowu only ran a boat, but the generous income has made him no longer poor, and he can even have some snacks as entertainment in his spare time.

"It's all because of the arrival of Taibaixing..."

While chewing fried soybeans, Zhang Laowu took out an iron figurine from his neck and held it in his hand, rubbing it from time to time.

It's all because of the arrival of Taibaixing that they have such a good life now.

So this matter can't be done wrong.

"What are you doing here!"

Just when the crowd was about to approach Liuhua Mountain, a commotion broke out in the villages and towns at the foot of Liuhua Mountain. The pale and skinny people picked up sticks and hoes, and even anything that could be used as weapons by them, and blocked the Jishui Town group on the road.

"What are you doing here! What are you doing with so many people!"

Yes, such a large group of people came here, even if they were just some civilians, it was a great number. What if these outsiders had any bad intentions and wanted to occupy the land here...

Never allow it! The people of Liuhua Mountain have lived here for generations! They will never allow these outsiders to come and seize their...

"We came to see Liuhua Mountain. After all, it is the nearest mountain."

Zhang Laowu stood up and looked up and down at these local people.

"Don't worry, we will go back at night and won't stay here for too long... After all, I am also worried about the disaster here."

Yes, the disaster here in Liuhua Mountain is not only known to the locals of Liuhua Mountain, but even the people in Jishui Town have heard about it - so Zhang Laowu didn't really understand why these locals suddenly came out and looked so alert. What are they doing? What do they think of them?

Will they rob a place where it doesn't rain for a long time and earthquakes happen every two or three days?

"You..."

Faced with Zhang Laowu's explanation, these locals of Liuhua Mountain didn't know what to say for a while.

They wanted to say something to refute, after all, this is the place where their ancestors have lived for generations, the place where they were born and raised, this is their hometown - as the old saying goes, a son does not think his mother is ugly, and a dog does not think his family is poor. No matter how bad this place is, it is still their home.

But that's where the problem lies. These outsiders are really right.

This Liuhua Mountain area is really not good.

In the past, they spent most of their time struggling to survive, and surviving had used up all their energy, so it was difficult for them to have time and brains to think about other things - but now after this outsider said, Coupled with the other party's eyes that clearly showed disgust, no matter how slow these people in Liuhua Mountain were, they were already vaguely aware of something at this moment.

It's just that they don't want to admit it yet. After all, this is their hometown. They have been here for so long, so how can they say this place is not good?

"This place is really not very good. I heard in Jishui Town that there are disasters here every year. I'm afraid there is something wrong with the feng shui."

Zhang Laowu shook his head repeatedly and sighed.

"So why don't you move out? Why are you suffering like this here?"

Why not move out? The local people in Liuhua Mountain have thought about moving away, but once they move away, they will lose their land. Going to a foreign country means that they will definitely be bullied - not to mention that they can't stay in Liuhua Mountain. And the Liuhua Mountain Lord who rescued those in distress...

"Rescue the distressed?"

Hearing that these locals from Liuhua Mountain actually carried out gods, Zhang Laowu immediately started scratching his head.

"Well, I'm not saying that your god is not good, but I really have a question to ask."

Saying this, Zhang Laowu pointed to the ground under his feet.

"If your gods are so clever, then why do you still suffer disasters every year?"

"this……"

The local people in Liuhua Mountain were stunned.

They never thought about it.

All along, they only know that every time they are hit by a disaster, the Liuhua Mountain Lord will save them. As long as they chant the name of the Liuhua Mountain Lord and praise the power of the Liuhua Mountain Lord, they can avert danger when natural disasters come. ——So this Liuhuashan Monarch must be efficacious and there must be no problems. After all, they have been saved every time.

But now think about it...

If the Liuhua Mountain Monarch is really that efficacious, if the Liuhua Mountain Monarch is really that powerful, then why not simply prevent all natural disasters from happening again?

Could it be said that even Liuhuashanjun can't do it?

The omnipotent Liuhua Mountain King actually has things he can't do?

"hiss……"

Many locals in Liuhua Mountain have already started to feel cold. It is obvious that this incident is a bit difficult for them to accept.

It was at this time that Zhang Laowu spoke again.

"It seems that your gods don't care much about this. Why don't you try worshiping us?"

Saying this, Zhang Laowu took out the little iron man he carried with him.

"This is Taibai Star. It just helped us solve the flood in Jishui. Originally, Jishui was plagued by disasters just like Liuhua Mountain. It was only after Taibai Star came that things became peaceful..."

"What the hell are you!"

Before Zhang Laowu could finish speaking, the locals from Liuhua Mountain started laughing.

"It's just such a bald piece of iron, without even a face. How can this thing be Taibai Star? Did you let someone deceive you?"

"ah?"

Zhang Laowu was stunned, but for a moment he didn't understand what the fuss was about.

But immediately, he understood why these Liuhua Mountain locals were laughing.

Just because these locals brought out their own idols.

It was a majestic statue that was seven feet high. It looked like a frail scholar, but the tiger skin cloak on his body made the frail scholar look majestic. He looked down at the people from a high position, and he was not angry or intimidating. -The most important thing is that Zhang Laowu took a closer look and saw that the tiger skin cloak on the statue was actually made of real tiger skin.

Zhang Laowu had never seen such a luxurious statue. You must know that the priest He Bo in the town only put a water jar there.

But looking at it this way, it's no wonder that these Liuhua Mountain locals would sneer at Taibai Star. After all, compared with the tall and majestic statue, the iron man in his hand is really a bit unsightly.

Just look at the sallow faces and skinny faces of the local people in Liuhua Mountain, and compare them with the splendor of this statue. I am afraid these people in Liuhua Mountain are not all crazy. They have to offer a golden body to this so-called Liuhua Mountain King even though they have not eaten enough. !

"So...do you want to do it forcefully?"

Zhang Laowu clenched his fists.

Originally, he thought that he might be able to do it by himself, but now it seems...

Maybe we can only do what Taibai Xing said.

"Actually, we brought some food here!"

Zhang Laowu shouted loudly.

"I know you're in a bad year here! That's why we specially brought food here! If you need it, come here and give us a pound of rice! You can also get eggs!"

"Really? Is there really an egg collar?"

As soon as I heard that there were eggs to be received, there was no one under the statue of Liuhua Mountain Lord. The local people from Liuhua Mountain gathered around with nervous expressions on their faces and just wanted to receive rice and eggs.

"Thank you, thank you..."

"Don't thank us. If you want to thank us, just thank Taibai Xing."

Zhang Laowu once again took out the iron man.

And the people of Liuhua Mountain also saluted the little iron man.

"Thank you Taibai Xing."

"Thank you Taibai Xing."

"Thank you Taibai Star for your great kindness."

"Thank you Taibai Xing for saving the trouble..."

…

"It seems that the situation at Liuhua Mountain has been settled."

Du Chengfeng stretched out and let the incense coming from a distance flow around his body.

On the other hand, although the Liuhua Tiger has managed to piece itself back together, just looking at the broken face, one can feel that the Liuhua Tiger is getting weaker and weaker.

Weak physical strength, weak strength, weak breath, and the weakest thing, will.

The incense willpower that originally supported the firm will was constantly passing away, which made Liuhuashan Jun's state of mind become more and more shaken.

"mean……"

Feeling the ebb and flow of the incense's wish power, Liuhuashan Jun's eyes widened in anger.

"Despicable! You actually stole my people!"

"What is stealing?"

Du Chengfeng was immediately unhappy.

"I just gave them a choice. Should I choose to continue to follow you, or should I choose eggs and rice? Besides, this kind of thing is not a big deal, right? After all, they will continue to follow you after receiving the rice..."

That's right. What Du Chengfeng said was even true. After all, just giving him some rice and eggs would not be able to shake Liuhua Tiger's influence in the Liuhua Mountain area.

However, even if you can just buy a moment of time, it is enough.

Just because, in a life and death battle, any mistake will be infinitely magnified.

"Actually, when I was clearing out the underworld soldiers you sent that day, I thought about why you didn't try to come to me directly. Instead, you wanted to attack the people in Jishui Town. This might be a good way to weaken me, but It may not really work. There must be some deeper reason why you did it right away... I found out later."

Having said this, Du Chengfeng looked into Liuhua Tiger's eyes.

"This method may not be what I fear most, but it must be what you fear most."

Seeing that the incense and wish power on Liuhuashanjun was almost exhausted, Du Chengfeng raised his sword again.

"Any last words?"

"you……"

Liuhuashanjun, who could no longer stand up, tried his best to raise his head.

"You..."

"Forget it about swearing."

Zheng——

The heavy sword struck his head, and his already broken head immediately shattered to the ground.

And this Liuhua Mountain King finally stopped getting up again.
